Chapter 80: Reunion with Sheng Yuxiao
Chapter 80: Reunion with Sheng Yuxiao
Chapter 80
Li Xiaoya's transfer procedures went very smoothly.
After all, it was just a private school for the elite. As long as you could prove your family's status and pay a bit more money, you could get in. In comparison, the public elementary schools in Jin City were much harder to enter.
After getting into the school, Wei Lin first took Li Xiaoya to the principal's office.
"Our little miss has just been found and brought back to us. It wasn't easy, and she's the apple of our family's eye. I hope you all can take good care of her," Wei Lin said, showing his attentiveness to Li Xiaoya.
"Also, I don't want anyone at your school bullying her. If she gets hurt even a little..." Wei Lin's expression darkened slightly. "That might not be easily resolved."
The principal nodded and said, "We'll do our best, absolutely our best to ensure the young lady's safety."
But in his heart, he was already cursing.
Everyone who came to this school was either rich or noble. Sure, their family might be impressive, but that was abroad!
If their girl really got into a conflict with someone, wouldn't they still have to handle it the usual way?
The principal, after this internal grumbling, already felt the thorny situation this new student's arrival would bring.
"Has the teacher arrived?" Wei Lin suddenly asked.
"The homeroom teacher is here, but the other teachers are all in class."
Wei Lin frowned, "They should all meet her. Well, never mind, we'll have a chance next time. Where's the homeroom teacher?"
"Mr. Wei, I'm here." The homeroom teacher stepped forward. He was a young male teacher.
Wei Lin immediately repeated to him what he had said to the principal, essentially emphasizing that their child was precious and needed to be treated with the utmost care.
The homeroom teacher could only nod and agree.
After rambling on for half an hour, Wei Lin finally said, "Alright, then the homeroom teacher can take Little Ya to class now."
The homeroom teacher felt as if he'd been granted amnesty, thinking to himself that being an elementary school teacher was really not easy!
Then he led Li Xiaoya out.
As they were leaving the principal's office, Li Xiaoya suddenly turned back to look at Wei Lin.
Wei Lin bent down and asked, "What's wrong? Don't want to go to class?"
"Mm." Li Xiaoya said softly, "I'm scared."
Wei Lin paused, not sure if the little girl was genuinely afraid or just trying to manipulate him.
"Don't be afraid, I'll go buy you some toys..."
"Uncle, can you stay outside the classroom while I'm in class?" Li Xiaoya looked up and asked.
Wei Lin swallowed the rest of what he was going to say.
Was the little girl trying to give him a hard time?
"Of course... I can."
Seeing this, the others couldn't help but marvel at how precious she must be!
She even needed someone to accompany her.
They wondered where this little girl had been found and brought back from.
The homeroom teacher led Li Xiaoya in front, with Wei Lin following behind, as they made their way to Class 1, Grade 3.
The class wasn't very large, with about twenty students.
When they entered, the class was in the middle of an English reading exercise.
Stepping in, it felt like entering a foreign country, completely different from Shitou School.
"Everyone, let's applaud to welcome our new classmate," the homeroom teacher said.
But the classroom remained extremely quiet, with no one clapping.
These third-grade children seemed to have already learned how to scrutinize others. They silently stared at Li Xiaoya, examining her clothes and accessories.
"Why is she carrying such an ugly backpack?" someone suddenly spoke up.
Wei Lin, standing outside the window, looked through the glass and clearly saw the backpack Li Xiaoya was carrying.
Why was she carrying that?
Wei Lin was also surprised.
That backpack seemed to be... the one she brought from Li Family Village.
Wei Lin wanted to laugh. Who would have thought, at such a young age, she was already so sentimental.
Unfortunately, in this circle, sentiment was the least needed quality. Otherwise, she would end up like her uncles.
Children in this world have always been cruel without realizing it. Especially these little rich kids in this school.
Wei Lin rubbed his nose, thinking she was about to experience that because of this backpack.
The homeroom teacher cleared his throat and said, "Why don't you introduce yourself first?"
The class continued to be disrespectful, commenting, "The pattern on it looks like it's counterfeit."
Unlike the "unsophisticated" children at Shitou School, the children here were too worldly.
They wouldn't be amazed or envious of someone carrying a backpack with the latest cartoon characters printed on it; they would just think it was low-class.
The homeroom teacher listened to their comments and couldn't help but hold his head.
What to do? He had just been instructed not to let this girl suffer any grievances.
At this moment, Li Xiaoya suddenly looked at a little girl in the class and said, "I remember you."
The little girl's eyes flickered.
At the banquet that day, it was this little girl who told Li Xiaoya that if her parents were very powerful, she could sit on that sofa.
You could say that the little girl had witnessed the entire process of Li Xiaoya thrashing Young Master Mu that day.
"She's Li Xiaoya!" the little girl suddenly stood up and introduced, "She... she's very impressive!"
The little girl didn't know how else to describe it, just that she was impressive.
As soon as the little girl spoke, the other children's discussions immediately stopped.
Even the homeroom teacher looked at Li Xiaoya in shock.
Li Xiaoya nodded, standing on the platform and asked the little girl, "What's your name?"
The little girl hesitated for a moment before saying, "An Ying."
Li Xiaoya nodded and said seriously, "I've remembered your name."
Little An Ying was startled. She wondered if Li Xiaoya was holding a grudge against her. But she hadn't joined in the teasing that day during the fight.
Because of An Ying's choice of words when introducing Li Xiaoya, no one dared to comment further.
Li Xiaoya was then assigned a seat.
She didn't throw away her backpack just because they said it was ugly. Instead, she first wiped the exterior with a piece of paper, then carefully tucked it into the desk cubby.
The homeroom teacher sighed in relief, signaled the teacher to continue the class, and then turned to leave.
Outside the window, Wei Lin was speechless.
That's it?
His mouth twitched as he thought, beating up that Young Master Mu actually made her famous???
Wei Lin ended up standing outside all day, only getting a break at lunchtime.
When school let out in the afternoon, as Li Xiaoya was walking out, she encountered that Young Master Mu again when passing by the fifth-grade area.
As soon as Young Master Mu saw her, his face turned green, and he hurriedly ran away with his head down.
Seeing this, Wei Lin was once again at a loss for words.
How could that Young Master Mu be so easily intimidated?
"Li Xiaoya! Li Xiaoya!" Suddenly, a voice called out from behind.
Li Xiaoya stopped and turned around.
Hm?
She didn't recognize him.
Wei Lin was also puzzled. A little boy was running towards them.
The boy looked unfamiliar, and Li Xiaoya had been under his watch the whole time, so where could she have made a friend?
The boy, holding a phone in one hand, excitedly said into it, "Bro, bro, it's her, right? I told you it was her! I really saw Li Xiaoya!"
As he spoke, the boy maneuvered his camera to point at Li Xiaoya.
Li Xiaoya took half a step back, avoiding his shot, and asked, "Who are you?"
"I'm Ning Heng's younger brother. My name is Ning Ling. Let my brother talk to you... Huh? Why did my brother hang up the video call?" The boy was dumbfounded.
Ning Heng was Sheng Yuxiao's friend, and this boy was Ning Heng's younger brother.
Although the relationship was a bit distant... Li Xiaoya still briefly and generously included him in her circle of acquaintances.
"Call him back," Li Xiaoya said softly.
Seeing that Li Xiaoya was finally acknowledging him, Ning Ling didn't bother calling back. He circled around Li Xiaoya, mumbling, "I can't feel it."
"Feel what?" Li Xiaoya tilted her head and asked.
"My brother said that when he sees you, he gets very inspired... I can't figure out my homework, I wish I could get some inspiration too," Ning Ling said, scratching his head.
Meanwhile, on the other end.
After hanging up the video call, Ning Heng quickly found Sheng Yuxiao: "Bro, holy shit, I know where Li Xiaoya is now."
"Where?"
"She's at our school, just in the elementary section. My little brother just saw her."
Sheng Yuxiao immediately called his bodyguard to get the car ready.
The TV show crew also hurried to follow.
Qin Sui stood by the railing, taking in the whole scene.
"Qin bro, Qin bro, why aren't you leaving?" Someone came over to ask, "We just found this really good private kitchen restaurant, let's drive over there."
Qin Sui responded with an "Mm" and said, "Let's follow them."
"Follow who?... Follow Sheng Yuxiao?"
"Mm."
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, thinking that Qin bro had been acting really strange lately, actually wanting to follow Sheng Yuxiao's car!
Meanwhile, Ning Ling finally received a call back from his brother.
He hung up the phone and said, "My brother said Sheng Yuxiao is here to see you."
Li Xiaoya's eyes lit up, and she immediately ran towards the school gate.
Fortunately, the road from the high school section to the elementary section was specially controlled, and outside vehicles couldn't access this road, so it wasn't congested.
It took only five minutes for Sheng Yuxiao's car to reach the elementary section.
He pushed open the door and got out of the car, striding with his long legs in one smooth motion.
The staff hurriedly set up the cameras, aimed them at the entrance, and accurately captured Li Xiaoya's figure.
Sheng Yuxiao also spotted her at once.
She was wearing a red down jacket with a petal-like skirt, making her look like a flower bud surrounded by petals.
"Li Xiaoya!" Sheng Yuxiao shouted, walking over in a few steps and lifting her up in his arms.
As he hugged her, he felt the backpack on her body.
Sheng Yuxiao looked down.
Wasn't that the one he bought for her in Li Family Village?
It was considered "rare" in the local area, but here, it really wasn't up to par.
Yet she still wore it to school.
Because it was the one he bought for her.
Sheng Yuxiao took a deep breath, his eyes growing a bit misty.
"Li Xiaoya, I've missed you too!"
[Ahhhh!]
[They've met again!]
[Aww, Xiaoya is still using the backpack Young Master Sheng gave her, who can resist this?]
The comments instantly exploded.
Meanwhile, Qin Sui's car pulled up close behind.
He lowered his head to operate his phone, sending out some message.
The person next to him couldn't help but crane his neck: "Brother Qin, what are you sending?"
"Giving Sheng Yuxiao a little surprise."
"?" "Brother Qin, that's... that's quite nice of you, giving Sheng Yuxiao a surprise... Does this mean the Qin and Sheng families are really reconciling?"
Qin Sui didn't respond to that.
On the other side, Sheng Yuxiao's phone rang.
He casually took it out, frowning and squinting: "What message is that idiot Qin Sui sending me?"
"Did he see on the TV program that I finally met you and now he's feeling uneasy?"
[Hilarious, determined to anger Qin Sui, aren't we?]
Sheng Yuxiao opened the message: "...What's this? A voice message?"
He pressed play.
Li Xiaoya's crisp voice came through: "Brother Qin Sui, see you later... Brother Qin Sui, see you later..."
It played on repeat.
The air suddenly fell silent.
[Well... It seems like Young Master Sheng is the one who's about to be angered to death.]
